dependency-cruiser doesn't love yargs #868

Closed boneskull closed 8 months ago

boneskull commented 9 months ago

Yargs is doing weird things, and dependency-cruiser doesn't understand it. At least one of those things is a deep corner case that probably isn't worth addressing. Maybe fun to think about?

Expected Behavior

Should not get a not-to-unresolvable error from recommended yargs usage.

Current Behavior

These two requires:

require('yargs/yargs')
require('yargs/helpers')

Cause depcruiser to emit errors:

  error not-to-unresolvable: packages/midnight-smoker/dist/cli.js → yargs/yargs
  error not-to-unresolvable: packages/midnight-smoker/dist/cli.js → yargs/helpers

These work. It's there. I promise.

Possible Solution

Per the docs, it sounds like module resolution is done via webpack? If it was possible to do using Node.js' own facilities, I imagine this would work. It could be that webpack just doesn't understand the exports field in yargs. Which, for reference, is this:

  {
    "./package.json": "./package.json",
    ".": [
      {
        "import": "./index.mjs",
        "require": "./index.cjs"
      },
      "./index.cjs"
    ],
    "./helpers": {
      "import": "./helpers/helpers.mjs",
      "require": "./helpers/index.js"
    },
    "./browser": {
      "import": "./browser.mjs",
      "types": "./browser.d.ts"
    },
    "./yargs": [
      {
        "import": "./yargs.mjs",
        "require": "./yargs"
      },
      "./yargs"
    ]
  }

I'm thinking that this is actually two separate problems.

For the yargs/yargs, maybe one of:

  1. The module resolution doesn't understand exports-as-array.
  2. The module resolution doesn't like that certain extensions are omitted entirely.

For yargs/helpers:

The module resolution interprets Yargs' "type": "module" to mean that any .js file referenced in its exports is an ES module, regardless of the conditional used. I don't know whether that's true off the top of my head, but it's plausible. But.... the helpers folder also contains its own package.json with "type": "commonjs", which evidently overrides this behavior. This is the sort of thing you don't do unless you have a reason. I don't know the reason, but my wild-ass guess is "backwards compatibility with older versions of Node.js".

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

See the "Current Behavior" section. Run dependency cruiser using a freshly-init'd config on a file containing the example code.

Context

Running dep cruiser on Node.js project which outputs CJS, written in TS.

Your Environment

Hi @boneskull thanks for raising this issue. Worried, I created a minimal repro repo but couldn't reproduce the problem. This means there's a difference in setup between that repo and the repo you have at hand. Could you share of that repo

sverweij commented 9 months ago

b.t.w. I've checked out boneskull/midnight-smoker and run dependency-cruiser against it, and there I can't reproduce the issue either. For reference I've included the .dependency-cruiser.js I've used (placed in the root of the monorepo - command used: npx depcruise packages.

Per the docs, it sounds like module resolution is done via webpack? If it was possible to do using Node.js' own facilities, I imagine this would work. It could be that webpack just doesn't understand the exports field in yargs.

It's indeed done with enhanced-resolve, which happens to be the resolver webpack uses as well. enhanced-resolve does understand exports fields, as well as imports, main, browser and types fields. It's even configurable to look into fields if someone thinks module resolution in javascript land isn't complicated enough yet.

Out of the box dependency-cruiser configures enhanced-resolve for most common use cases. The default configuration generated with --init adds a few others on top of that as well (in the configuration instead of in the core to preserve backwards compatibility).

Dependency-cruiser uses enhanced-resolve instead of the node native resolver so it can work with all the interesting extensions authors of babel, typescript, webpack, parcel, coffee-script etc have bolted on top of (or as alternatives to) node, ranging from path mappings to completely new languages. So far enhanced-resolve has proven to be very reliable as well as sufficiently flexible. I have yet to find a case where it doesn't work at least as well as nodejs' own resolver.

Yeah, I can reproduce it still. This is what I did:

  1. Checkout midnight-smoker, branch main (39e62839ee52c79cf0109cbe842c1dfb4f3419e2)
  2. rm -rf node_modules packages/*/node_modules
  3. npm i
  4. npx dependency-cruiser -- --init
  5. npx dependency-cruiser -- .

It complains about some "orphans" because it is not fully configured, but otherwise, the errors about yargs are still there.

Hi @boneskull thanks for the update

B.t.w. the second point doesn't matter for the issue at hand. I've tried it with npx dependency-cruiser -- . and cannot reproduce the issue (but then again I didn't delete the node_modules yargs references should resolve to).

This is what the warning normally looks like when running dependency-cruiser from a global install:


WARNING: You're running a globally installed dependency-cruiser.

           We recommend to install and run it as a local devDependency in
           your project instead. There it has your project's environment and
           transpilers at its disposal. That will ensure it can find e.g.
           TypeScript, Vue or Svelte modules and dependencies.```

@sverweij

Re: 1 - The rm -rf was followed by an npm install. I didn't want to install exclusively from package-lock.json, so I didn't use npm ci.

Re: 2 - npx doesn't always imply "global". If dependency-cruiser is installed in your local project, it mimics the npm exec behavior. So I could have written it as npm exec, but I think I exec is a relatively new npm command. Regardless: it runs node_modules/.bin/depcruise

(Apologies for not getting back to this more quickly; I am very poor at keeping on top of GH notifications)
